+## Working with SSL
+
+You can use this guide to work with SSL certificates.
+
+#### Using `pem` option
+
+```ruby
+# Use this example if you are using a pem file
+
+class Client
+	include HTTParty
+	
+	base_uri "https://example.com"
+	pem File.read("#{File.expand_path('.')}/path/to/certs/cert.pem"), "123456"
+
+end
+```
+
+#### Using `pkcs12` option
+
+```ruby
+# Use this example if you are using a pkcs12 file
+
+class Client
+	include HTTParty
+	
+	base_uri "https://example.com"
+	pkcs12 File.read("#{File.expand_path('.')}/path/to/certs/cert.p12"), "123456"
+
+end
+```
+
+#### Using `ssl_ca_file` option
+
+```ruby
+# Use this example if you are using a pkcs12 file
+
+class Client
+	include HTTParty
+	
+	base_uri "https://example.com"
+	ssl_ca_file "#{File.expand_path('.')}/path/to/certs/cert.pem"
+
+end
+```
+
+#### Using `ssl_ca_path` option
+
+```ruby
+# Use this example if you are using a pkcs12 file
+
+class Client
+	include HTTParty
+	
+	base_uri "https://example.com"
+ 	ssl_ca_path '/path/to/certs'
+end
+```
+
+You can also include this options with the call:
+
+```ruby
+class Client
+	include HTTParty
+	
+	base_uri "https://example.com"
+	
+	def	self.fetch
+		get("/resources", pem: (File.read("#{File.expand_path('.')}/path/to/certs/cert.pem"), "123456")
+	end
+end
+```
+
+### Avoid SSL verification
+
+In some cases you may want to skip SSL verification, because the entity that issue the certificate is not a valid one, but you still want to work with it. You can achieve this through:
+
+```ruby
+#Skips SSL certificate verification
+
+class Client
+	include HTTParty
+
+	base_uri "https://example.com"
+	pem File.read("#{File.expand_path('.')}/path/to/certs/cert.pem"), "123456"
+	
+	def	self.fetch
+		get("/resources", verify: false)
+		# You can also use something like:
+		# get("resources", verify_peer: false)
+	end
+end
+```
